CHICAGO (CBS) — The rain and snow activity is wrapping up by daybreak, but fog will be left across the area.
It could be locally dense in certain locations, so visibility will drop randomly while you're commuting. By late morning, the fog should start to mix out, but we will be left with mainly cloudy skies for this Groundhog Day. Temperatures will zoom to the middle and upper 40s, and the southern suburbs will be near 50 degrees.

Overnight, clouds linger, and fog redevelops, with lows dipping into the middle 30s. Monday morning will be foggy, and by the afternoon, mostly cloudy skies will prevail, with highs topping out in the upper 40s.
The workweek starts off with dry and cloudy skies, but by Wednesday, we are tracking a wintry mix and drizzle in the late morning. In the afternoon, rain, freezing rain, sleet, and snow follow.
